me in the shower....

thank God, that the awesome nurse with the short spikey hair, gave me lots of blue hospital trash bags...

I have to wrap and tape my leg up...spin around and try to balance on my left leg....

there was water on the marble floor in the hotel bathroom the other day...and my crutch slipped...and I thought, "oh, great, know I'm gonna fall and break my other leg! ha ha ha ha".....

last night we had to change my dressing on my leg....it hurt so bad....the problem is not the top part of my skin, but because the glass went down and hit my bone...deep inside and all the muscles down to the bone hurt...it felt like someone took an ice pick and slammed it into my shin bone....

First of all, I love your make-up videos. Thank you for those! And second of all, I saw the pics of the leg, and that looks insane. I sure hope they're giving you lots o' medicine. :( Feel better, lady.

I am sooo sorry to hear about what happened to you. I've been wondering: are you going to meet with a lawyer to see about suing the hotel? You *really* should. It is not right that they inconvenienced your life in this way. You should meet with a lawyer ASAP just to assess the situation.

That a girl! Starting your blog with a "thank God". You are too pretty and too smart and talented to let this leg get you down - you just keep that smile and btw, the leg looks amazing - healing so nicely! Hug your sweetheart for his knight in shining armor actions in taking good care of you - you are blessed! Look how many people came to your rescue. It's amazing. It only shows your inner beauty is even brighter than your outer beauty! So keep that smile and keep thanking God for the small things - even for trash bags. :) ((BIG HUGS)) Much love! Just keep trucking through this and you are going to be amazed at how strong you are when you come through this, girl. You will just look back and look at these blogs and say "Wow! Look what I went through and survived to talk about it!" God Bless you sweetie! You are doing good!!! Just keep hanging in there! It's going to be just fine! :) Keep that beautiful smile shining through - don't let the bad times ever cloud your smiles! Ever!

Bless your heart Kandee :( You are stronger than you think and more special than you know! Just keep your head up and know that lots of people have you in their prayers! Keep up the amazing work and amazing smiles!! Nahum 1:7 - The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble, he knows them that trust in Him! You can do this girl! <3

Kandee,Ouch! I had my hip removed after it became infected & know how bad you must hurt.Take your pain meds and the key is to stay ahead of the pain.I used a really cool waterproof dressing to shower & was even able to float around in my pool.You may want to check those out.Hope you start to feel better soon.Hugs & cupcakes to you, Nan

awe, i feel so bad for you!that looks like it hurt soooo bad.your a trooper, i hope you heal up fast! you should start putting vitamin E on it so it doesn't scar so bad. My mom broke her femur right in half and had to get a rod put in her leg, now she has a 17 inch scar up her thigh, her doctor recommended she started putting vitamin E on it, she didn't listen and scared really bad! But, no matter what your always gonna be beautiful :) xoxo , Raven!

awwwh, kandee and the leg! i hope you're BOTH feeling better soon! you're such an inspiration though miss kandee! most people would be going on and on about how horrible it is and poor me stories but you're just a ray of sunshine saying "things could be worse". if the world had more people like you, it would be a much better place!

I cant beleive this has happened to you. My heart just sank reading about your pain and not being able to sleep. With all of the contacts that you have I wonder if there is someone that could help you with your pain in a hoaloistic way. (Excuse my spelling)I know that you like to take more natural medicines I am sure there is something you could take or do to help with the pain to get you through this. Thank you for keeping everybody informed of your recovery. I will be praying for you sweetie. Luv Jennifer

oh my gosh, i'm so oblivious to what just happened i had to read a couple of posts back... you poor thing! i hope you feel better soon... if it makes you feel any better, i had a c-section, when i had my son... get well soon lovely kandee!

Hi! I commented on your last blog about my mom and how she had a similar accident with her knee. Then I was driving today and thought about you! Thought, "I wonder how she's gonna take a shower?" And what do you post?...you and the shower lol. I had to help my mom too with showering b.c of her leg...its tough, but moms are strong =)

OMG!!! You POOR THING!!! Hang in there, a few months from now all this misery will be just a memory. I remember when I shattered my ankle that feeling you described of all the blood rushing to the injury and feeling like it was going to explode... yah, just a crystal clear memory! Hang in there! Honestly, I've never seen anything more gruesome than your injury... I'm VERY surprised it looks so good this soon. You really MUST be healing fast.

Dear Kandee..I sincerely hope that you get well as soon as possible and that this bad thing will be over, keep strong, keep smiling, you are beautiful person and your leg will be fine..I´m sure! I´m sending good thoughts to you for a smooth and quick recovery, hang in there sweety!

Hi KandeeI read your blog all the time but have not commented before.I just wanted to let you know I am praying for quick healing for you. I CAN'T BELIEVE THIS HAPPENED!!Your attitude is amazing, like always.It makes me sad to think of you in pain:(www.amy-newnostalgia.blogspot.com

Aww Kandee, you poor thing. I'm keeping you in my prayers and hope it heals fast, it seems as though it is. Everyone's gotta cry sometimes! ;) Can't always be that strong girlie! Take care of yourself!~Cassidy Z.

Ohhh god Bless you Kandee! I know your pain!!! Lost story short I cut my wrist really badly on a glass bracelet and I almost hit the vein. I needed stitches and everything. scared the living daylights out of me.

After it's all healed use mederma on the scar and it'll disappear fast.

Kandee, a year ago I was in injured in a car accident. I was on crutches for over 3 months. The photo of you trying to take a bath has brought back so many memories. Above all else, I felt FRUSTRATION. Not being able to do simple daily tasks is endlessly frustrating. I would suggest that you keep yourself as busy as possible (even if you can only work from bed, keep up with your blogging and add info to your website)...anything you can do to keep yourself focused on your future is important. One day, you will be like me, a year away from this hard time. You are beginning your road to recover and a journey is made up of a thousand steps. Good luck!

Wow that is so horrible I am soo sorry. I know how much it must really hurt, I've had stiches in my foot and I had only 5, so it must be nothing in comparison. But hey at least you had someone next to you the whole time. They didn't let Harrison, the sweatesf guy friend I have, who came all the way to the ER when he heard, come with me. Only my mom was aloud. Anyway, I really hope you feel better and I just want to say I'm praying for you and hope you make it through with the least amout of pain possible.

Kandee I saw how you hurt your leg !!!! it looks really bad, super painful, your really brave to have gone through that and still find a way to be so positive. i think you are such an inspiration to so many girls. This is just one more thing you will have to grow from. Some day i would love to cook for you( that is what i do for a living). your blogs keep me so positive and give me exactly the tips on glamour and make up that i need . Best of luck to you and your family and I hope your leg recovers really quickly . Maybe when your stitches come out you can try argan oil to help the skin mend . Much love to a great lady your beautiful inside and out!!johanna

omg kandee!!!! you are the bravest person EVER!!!! i saw those pics and was totally shocked.... you deserve some sort of metal of honor...it sort of shows how we are only human... we are breakable. but man, i wish you the best of luck - this is merely a small setback in your life of HUGE accomplishments. Thanks for being such a strong person. We need you.

It looks so much better!Like a cool shark bite!I cut my toe the other day. It was a teeny tiny cut, but it bled like crazy! I was kind of experiencing what you went through. So I can imagine how uncomfortable this is.I'm sorry you are in so much pain, but we all know how strong you are and you are going to get through this!I wish you lot's of strenght, love, care and speedy recovery!Get well soon! <3 xx

lol since i have a cast up to my kne on from breaking my ankle. i have to sit sideways in the tub with my casted leg sitting on the edge with a towel under it for cushion lmao. i wash my hair in the kitchen sink, and have learned creative ways to shave my good leg hahaha. i shave my poor arm pits in the bathroom sink lol i can't wait to be able to shower again lol!

I am terribly sorry for you, great girl, but, at the same time, I'm glad you are being so strong about this whole issue. You are a great reference for all of us in each kind of event that happens in life.

Feel better Kandee! It may seem hard now, but you can do it, and you will be in amazing shape soon! If anyone has the optimism and drive to get better, it is you. I will pray for you. Have a good night =)

hey girrl!! i am sorry to hear about what happened to your leg!! the same thing happened to my little brother a few years back when he was like 5 years old...he fell off of the monkey bars and he shattered his arm...he had to get pins in his arm....anyways, i am praying for you and hope that your pain stops soon!! Love you!

your the best! even when you down ! I love coming by your blog and getting a sugar high from you Kandee !!lol..you inspire soo many people and seem to be such a dear ... Even hurt your nice !hope the kids and the guy friend is pampering you and helping you recover quickly ...peae and luv

Wow, what a trooper you are, hang in there!! In the mean time may I suggest the xero sox, it is a caste cover that keeps your cast dry while taking a shower or bath, you can even swim in a pool and your cast will NOT get wet! I read and look forward to your blog every day, you are a TRUE inspiration keep up the good work!! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

hey kandee! your blog has brought so much joy to me and my sister! we follow it everyday and get a high from your incredible spirit, and peace in our hearts knowing that you can stay positive through all the overwhelming events in life..so my sister and i want you to know how much you mean to us as you struggle through this difficult time, and like you said somewhere in your blog, everything that happens though it may seem bad is actually an opportunity. you've been pouring out so much love, this is your time to sit back and receive it! THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU for being beautiful you. we love you so much.

Awww, I can totally feel the pain you are going through, when I was 6 or 7 this happened to me too, it was so itchy! I was scratching it in my sleep, so I had to sleep in a sleeping-bag so I couldn't reach the leg so easily :DHang on sweetie, get better soon, we all are thinking about you :-*

You are so strong Kandee, get well soon! Be sure to find the best attorney! Your case is a million dollar (if not more) suit, and you deserve it for the trauma. Stay strong girl! I love you & everything you post on youtube & blog :)

I am so sorry that this has happened, Kandee! We don't always know why God allows these things to happen; it may not have even been in His will for it to happen. But, He did allow for a reason. For whatever reason He did, I pray that He will use this terrible situation to draw you closer to Him. I will continue to keep you in my prayers and may God's great love and mercy be a comfort to you in your time of need.

Thank goodness you are okay! I had no idea you had a leg injury. I scrolled down and almost FAINTED just looking at it. I actually just had my big toe nail completely ripped off and thought that was bad. They even gave me vicodin for it. I never realized how painful it would be but now just to know you just had your leg sliced in half is AWFUL!!!!! AHHH

Kandeee! sending lots of love and hugs your way. You're hurting so much and you're still updating us on how you're doing. I consider myself lucky to have you as a role model and hope you get well real soon. xoxo

You are really amazing – even when experiencing all that pain, you still remain a very positive and funny person. I usually prefer not to comment on people I don't personally know, however you really do seem to be a genuinely nice person, and that is an increasingly rare quality in our world.

I'm from Armenia (don't feel bad if you have never heard of it, it's just a tiny country on the crossroad of Asia and Europe), and I've greatly enjoyed your blog entries and especially YouTube videos. You're really great, both as a make-up artist (your videos are awesome) and as a person. Get well soon!

Girl, i've been following your blog and youtube posts for a long time. and i just wanted to say - hang in there, the pain will eventually subside and the sun will shine again! ;) i've been through a similar thing myself a couple of years ago, and i remember it all too well. and nevermind the scars. they will be stories to tell and moments lived in the past. and they make you unique! just keep smiling like you always do. you are an inspiration!

Hi Kandee, I hope you get better soon, Unfortunately I know what you are going through as I too had my leg hanging off after an accident, make sure you keep it elevated so the swelling goes down. Don't worry too much about the scar it will fade. lots of love...Lisa xxx

Kandee,I'm sorry you're in such pain...but what happened to the MAKEUP ARTIST we started following in the first place? Where are the tutorials you once did and we loved? I'm sorry, I think you're a sweet person and everything but I haven't been following your blog because it seems you just have random inspirational stuff now instead of KandeeTHEMAKEUPARTIST. I'm just sayin...what happened?

Kandee, I know what you mean about wanting to run away from your leg! I sliced open two of my toes the other day and they are SOOO painful right now. It's so difficult to walk and I just want to run away from my foot right now! Keep your chin up and try to relax as much as you can. **hugs**

I know how it feels when it itches and u just want to cut if off ur body! I had to remove a mole off my neck (right under my chin) It was sort of a plastic surgery, they had to cut it and stitch, it was so annoying.. i would itch it with a feather pen hahhaha! Oh and the worst part is that I wasn't able to move my head up, left, right, for about 2 or 3 months! But it's all good now =) It will pass.. Stay strong! =) xx

I know I seem late, I just found out about you on youtube. You are so sweet and your personality is like mine. I saw the pics of your leg all I can say is WOW and you were truly blessed. You are strong, and its good to see you are doing well. :)
